Simple Binary Ionic Compounds

Practice naming and writing formulas for simple binary ionic compounds.

Naming Ionic Compound Name the following compounds. Make sure to use only lower case letter in your answers. Be careful with spacing as well. Use the following example to help you. Examples: sodium chloride. CaO calcium oxide KCl potassium chloride BaS barium sulfide LiBr lithium bromide MgCl2 magnesium chloride AlCl3 aluminum chloride MgS magnesium sulfide RbI rubidium iodide AlBr aluminum bromide Li3N lithium nitride Sr3N2 strontium nitride NaF sodium fluoride Ca3P2 calcium phosphide Al2O3 aluminum oxide BeS beryllium sulfide NaI sodium iodide MgF2 magnesium fluoride AlN aluminum nitride K2S potassium sulfide Ba3P2 barium phosphide What is the formula for Magnesium Iodide? Show how you determined this- whether it is by using Lewis dot structures (Wednesday) or by balancing the charges (Thursday). What is the formula for Lithium Phosphide? Show how you determined this- whether it is by using Lewis dot structures (Wednesday) or by balancing the charges (Thursday). What is the formula for Calcium Nitride? Show how you determined this- whether it is by using Lewis dot structures (Wednesday) or by balancing the charges (Thursday). Place each description into the correct category- Metals or nonmetals. Metals Tend to lose electrons Form cations Written first in ionic compounds Nonmetals Tend to gain electrons Form anions Ending changes to -ide when naming High ionization energy High electronegativity Suggest two different compounds this could be. Justify your answer.
